The Des Moines Register’s editorial board endorsed all Democrats for the House of Representatives Saturday, writing of the Republican Party that it “needs to be voted out of power and spend a few years becoming again the party of Lincoln, not the party of Trump.” The editorial board was especially blunt regarding Rep. Steve King (R-IA), who it said “spends his time meeting with fascist leaders in Europe and retweeting neo-Nazis.”
“Not only has the party failed to act as a check on the president, key Republicans have been complicit in trying to obstruct and undermine the investigation of a foreign power’s interference in a U.S. election,” the editorial board wrote. “And by their silence they have tacitly endorsed the president’s racism, misogyny, white nationalism, divisiveness and crudity.”
H/t Raw Story.
So if you’re in Iowa, you should get your fat cantaloupe calves to the polling place and depose King,
Hey, that’s the mexicans slepping 50 pounds bales of marijuanna accros the border !
Iowa nice has taken the gloves off.
This is the paper that sponsors the RAGBRAI. All good.
Curious to know who the Des Moines Register has endorsed in the past. In other words, how unusual of a step is this for them?
I certainly hope this is an omen of how Midwesterners feel about Republicans and a harbinger for Democratic gains across the region.
